Divorced in 1998; decree awards property located in Florida to wife; no legal description in decree - property named by subdivision. Ex-husband refuses to sign quit claim deed. How can wife get property in her name?

Probably you can have the deed to transfer the property prepared and ask the court to appoint an elisor to sign the deed on behalf of the husband. That can be accomplished by ex-parte hearing (very short notice) in San Diego County. I do not know how other counties will handle the matter. Talk to a family law attorney in the county where the judgment is filed. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Depends on wording of judgment. You may need it modified in Calif. and then domesticated in FL.
